Assignment 7: Night and Color

Eric Ruth

This is a photograph of the new Knight Management Center at night. It was taken with a wide angle lens to capture as much of the complex as possible. Luckily I was able to get this shot before a security guard kicked me off the 3rd floor of this building (which supposedly possesses sensitive documents).

Taking the Photograph.

Having a tripod pod allowed me to turn down the ISO and increase the Shutter speed because I didn't have to worry about camera shake and noise is always bad. Because flash makes things look harsh I decided not to use it. I also used a large aperture because I didn't need to have the wall in back of me in focus. Because the lipstick was so high gloss the camera's auto focus would more often than not focus on my lip, achieving the desired focus.
